Douglas DC-2 "De Uiver"

This is not the orignal "De Uiver" but a DC-2 named after the plane with the same name that became the winner of the 1934 race London (Mildenhall)-Melbourne.
The trip took 3 days 18 hours and 13 minutes. Nowadays it takes about 1 day to fly the same distance.
The original "De Uiver" crash landed in the Syrian desert on Dec. 19, 1934 when she was on her way to Batavia (Jakarta, Indonesia)


other sizes: small medium original auto
